8.2.14 – The Whole Nerdiness Show

Innovation Hub embraces nerdiness this week. Weird Al Yankovic has had a lot of success with his recent album and online strategy – but he's also been innovating for decades. Then we have a roundtable with Farhad Manjoo of the New York Times, and investor Roger McNamee, about the big picture in tech today and whether the nerds of Silicon Valley are staying true to their roots. Author Annie Murphy Paul tells us how to continue getting smarter. Plus, the impact of the FAA's drone testing program.
